President Says Belarus Keeps No Secrets From Russia

Alyaksandr Lukashenka told visiting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Minsk on June 28 that Belarus "does not keep and will not keep any secrets whatsoever from Russia," Belapan reported, quoting official sources. Lukashenka also stressed that the integration of Belarus and Russia should be continued on an equal footing. "Integration should be based on equality and mutual respect so that the interests of neither of the nations will be damaged," Lukashenka said. Lavrov reportedly visited Minsk to mark the 15th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries. "When we talk about bilateral relations between Belarus and Russia, calling them diplomatic is at least insufficient," Lavrov told Lukashenka. JM
